Garden Pool is dedicated to research and education of sustainable ways to grow food. Our mission as a non-profit is to develop better ways to grow food and help others do the same. Our operations are based in NW Mesa, Arizona at the home of the original Garden Pool.

The GP combines:

solar power – harnessing and storing the sun’s energy

water conservation – harvesting water and recycling waste & rain water

poultry farming – raising ducks and chickens

aquaculture – raising tilapia fish in ponds

hydroponic & aeroponic gardening – growing without soil

organic horticulture – using natural methods to control garden pests

aquaponics – the symbiotic cultivation of produce and fish in a recirculating hydroponic environment

bio-filtration – natural water filtration method using biochemistry and duckweed

dairy goats - dwarf Nigerian pygmy goats provide fresh milk daily

dwarf fruit & nut trees - small trees that produce an array of food

The Garden Pool has been featured by media from around the world. It is a one of a kind backyard food-producing ecosystem that was voted the Phoenix New Times Best Backyard Farm in 2012. Come see what the buzz is about!
